How peptide hormones and steroid hormones affect the metabolism

The secretion of hypothalamic, pituitary, and target tissue hormones is under
tight regulatory control by a series of feedback and feed- forward loops. This
complexity can be demonstrated using the growth hormone (GH) regulatory system
as an example. The stimulatory substance growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) and the inhibitory substance somatostatin
(SS)
both products of the hypothalamus, control pituitary GH secretion.
Somatostatin is also called growth hormone-inhibiting hormone
(GHIH). Under the
influence of GHRH, growth hormone is released into the systemic circulation,
causing the target tissue to secrete insulin-like
growth factor-1, IGF-1. Growth
hormone also has other more direct metabolic effects; it is both hyperglycemic
and lipolytic. The principal source of systemic IGF-1 is the liver, although
most other tissues secrete and contribute to systemic IGF-1. Liver IGF-1 is
considered to be the principal regulator of tissue growth. In particular, the
IGF-1 secreted by the liver is believed to synchronize growth throughout the
body, resulting in a homeostatic balance of tissue size and mass. IGF-1
secreted by peripheral tissues is generally considered to be autocrine or
paracrine in its biological action.

α-Melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) is a naturally occurring endogenous melanotan peptide hormone of the melanocortin family, which is considered to be the most important of the melanocyte-stimulating hormones when it comes to stimulating melanogenesis, a process which in mammals is responsible for hair and skin pigmentation. α-MSH also plays a role in feeding behavior, energy homeostasis, and sexual activity ( Bremelanotide and Melanotan 2). α-MSH is a nonselective agonist of melanocortin receptors MC1, MC3, MC4 and MC5. Melanotan 1 and Melanotan 2 activate the MC1 receptor, which is responsible for effects on skin pigmentation. Melanotan 2 and PT-141 both stimulate the MC3 and MC4 receptors which are responsible for the regulation of appetite, metabolism, and sexual behavior. However, PT-141 Bremelanotide does not stimulate the MC1 receptor.

Yes, our products are in freeze-dried powder form. You need to mix them with sterile water. You can buy bacteriostatic water (sterile water with % benzyl alcohol) directly from our site.
Is Growth Hormone available in any other form than via injection ?
Growth hormone cannot be offered as an oral product. If taken orally, the hormone is destroyed in the digestive system. There have been no studies showing that HGH can be orally administered, in any form – liquid or powder – so as to be useful to the body. Numerous studies over the last twenty years show that oral administration of HGH simply doesn’t work.
Are hormones dangerous ?
Not if used correctly and responsibly. That doesn’t mean that top athletes might not abuse them, or likewise the agricultural industry, or that the now discredited treatments for resolving growth problems (practically abolished today) might not have harmful effects. Growth hormones are effective, as even these abuses show, and their responsible use is entirely reasonable.

Several important peptide hormones are secreted from the pituitary gland. The anterior pituitary secretes three hormones: prolactin , which acts on the mammary gland ; adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), which acts on the adrenal cortex to regulate the secretion of glucocorticoids ; and growth hormone , which acts on bone , muscle , and the liver . The posterior pituitary gland secretes antidiuretic hormone , also called vasopressin, and oxytocin . Peptide hormones are produced by many different organs and tissues, including the heart ( atrial-natriuretic peptide (ANP) or atrial natriuretic factor (ANF)) and pancreas ( glucagon , insulin and somatostatin ), the gastrointestinal tract ( cholecystokinin , gastrin ), and adipose tissue stores ( leptin ).

We constantly seek ways to improve our quality systems and welcome any suggestions from our customers. Our commitment to quality is ongoing throughout the manufacturing process. The process begins with raw material quality inspection (RMQ), in-process quality inspection (IPQ) and on to final product quality inspection (FPQ) which are subject to a battery of analytical tests. Each peptide is accompanied with a certificate of analysis which includes details of the peptide, quantity and purity supplied, and helpful information on the solubility of the peptide in the buffers used during purification. Purified peptides also include a printout of the analytical HPLC profile and electrospray MS data. Peptides are also shipped with "A guide to handling peptides" and "Interpreting the results of peptide analysis".
